Ararat, Australia's Golden Town Dies! Pt.2
What does a Town do when both its major public and private sector employers close shop around the same time?
The town dies, people leave in the search for work, the community is destroyed and its people demoralized.
This is what happened to Ararat in the early 1990's.
All up, roughly one thousand public sector jobs were lost from the closure of the Psychiatric Hospital, the Railways and Telecom.
A downturn in manufacturing was also the deathknell for the town's biggest private sector employer, Packard/CTA.
Watch this short documentary to learn how the town was affected

Flying Australia - Fish River Conservation Area
The video commences on route from the Wingate Mountains, near Muldiva Creek, to Fish River Station. The track follows the north-eastern edge of the range before turning east to conduct an inspection of the station runway. As can be seen from the video, it was unsuitable for landing on this occasion.
The 178,116 hectare Fish River Station was formerly a lightly grazed pastoral property in the upper Daly River Basin. The property is bounded to the north and east by the Daly River and to the west by the Wingate Mountains. Dorisvale and Florina Stations lie to the south.
In 2010, a partnership between government, conservation organisations and the Indigenous Land Corporation was formed with a view to purchasing the property. This was accomplished in 2011 upon a settlement price of $13 million. Fish River Station is now protected under the National Reserve System and provides the local indigenous people with cultural and employment opportunities through projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect biodiversity.
The station affords protection to a long stretch of the Daly River, savanna woodland and pockets of fire-sensitive monsoon rainforest. It is also home to an astounding array of wildlife, some 255 species of fauna having already been recorded.
